WbIby Froe Prmse.Wockesdy, July 12, 1995.,Pag 7 Public 'relationships' It is summer. Vacation steals most of our available brain power. Writing'about serious topics strains littie grey celsa. That notwithstanding it is our duty to tackie Hu&h Grant. You know who 1 mean: the guy who starred in Four Weddings and A Funeral. Theguywho also, you know, that is to say, but then ehusis a faxnily newspap.er. Go ask your father. Or mother. Some- body. What it ias, this guy, he's like a movie star now, right?

Instead, he goes for a quiekie date ini a big Buick. The meaningless kind. Which now suddenly means much. Where were we? Relationsbips. Right. My grandfathers certainly did not have "relation- ships." They were businessmen farmers, husbands, fathers. Breadwinners. Role modela. They lived these roles. Did they have "relationships?» Well, if they did grandmother neyer mentioned it. Certainly it would h ave been a village scandai. Back then, life depended on people doing the jobs attached to their roles. Twemnt no use in not liking spring planting. It diidn't get done, nobody ate the next winter.
